A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />
Initial Conditions:
Volume= v1= 417 cm³
Temperature= T1 = 278 K
Final Conditions:
Temperature= T2 = 231K
Volume = v2 =?
Use the general gas equation;
P1*v1/T1 = P2*v2/T2
As, the temperature is constant;
So,
v1/T1 = v2/T2
417/278 = v2/231
v2= 346.5 cm³
Answer: 22.5 percent of incoming solar radiation goes directly to the surface of the Earth and is absorbed.
Explanation: Transfer of radiation through a planet's atmosphere. A planet and its atmosphere, in our solar system, can radiate back to space only as much energy as it absorbs from incoming solar radiation.
